Our Instructors

Encore is proud of its volunteer faculty who bring commitment, passion and knowledge to each course offering. These instructors come from our membership, the SUNY Orange faculty--including SUNY Orange president Bill Richards---and community experts. For example, in previous yars, Encore welcomed Frank Kieck, continuing his "Heroes & Villains" series, Clifton Patrick and "Made in Chester, and Marlena Lange with hiking, land preservation and literature courses.

New and veteran faculty continually propose new courses; their ideas come from members' suggestions and their own special interests. Some, but not all, of our veteran faculty, are included below.
